Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor mediates photoreceptor neuroprotection [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) is a neurotrophic factor and is the ligand for insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R). Reduced expression of IGF-1 has been reported to cause deafness, mental retardation, postnatal growth failure, and ...

Glycan Modulation of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor. [PDF]
AbstractThe insulin‐like growth factor‐1 receptor (IGF‐1R) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that plays critical roles in cancer. Microarray, computational, thermodynamic, and cellular imaging studies reveal that activation of IGF‐1R by its cognate ligand IGF1 is inhibited by shorter, soluble heparan sulfate (HS) sequences (e.g., HS06), whereas ...

Monomers of the insulin receptor and type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) can combine stochastically to form heterodimeric hybrid receptors. These hybrid receptors display ligand binding and signaling properties that differ from those of the homodimeric receptors.

Insulin-like growth factor-1/insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor signalling in macrophages facilitates recovery from acute lung injury [PDF]
Background No effective treatment strategy for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been established. Conflicting reports on the effects of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 stimulation and the inhibition of IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) signalling ...

Targeting the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor in human cancer [PDF]
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling system plays a crucial role in human cancer and the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is an attractive drug target against which a variety of novel anti-tumor agents are being developed.

Contrasting consequences of podocyte insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor inhibition [PDF]
Summary: Insulin signaling to the glomerular podocyte via the insulin receptor (IR) is critical for kidney function. In this study we show that near-complete knockout of the closely related insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) in podocytes is ...

Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor regulates breast cancer cell adhesion through beta-1 integrin [PDF]
IntroductionThe insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1/IGF1R) pathway has been implicated in breast cancer aggressiveness; however, inhibition of this pathway has not been successful in clinical trials, indicating a lack of understanding about its role in ...

Murine neonatal cardiac regeneration depends on Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor signaling [PDF]
Unlike adult mammals, the hearts of neonatal mice possess the ability to completely regenerate from myocardial infarction (MI). This observation has sparked vast interest in deciphering the potentially lifesaving and morbidity-reducing mechanisms ...
